Support Project Managers and Senior Project Managers with labor and cost tracking, material procurement and submittals, subcontractor coordination, contract administration, compliance requirements, and schedule management.
Participate in all phases of project delivery, from project kickoff through final closeout.
Assist with estimating, proposal preparation, bidding activities, and business development efforts as needed.
Support employee development and training initiatives by providing input, feedback, and sharing best practices.
Maintain a visible presence on project sites through regular site visits to monitor progress, identify opportunities for improvement, and foster strong working relationships with project teams.
Help ensure all work is completed safely, meets company quality standards, and complies with project plans, specifications, codes, and customer requirements.
Perform other duties as assigned.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING:
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with employees, customers, subcontractors, vendors, and leadership at all levels.
Demonstrated ability to contribute to team success through collaboration, initiative, and sound decision-making.
Working knowledge of construction methods, scheduling practices, project controls, and industry technology.
